Tree seeds are a carefully selected collection of exotic and ornamental species — from fully frost-hardy forms suitable for planting outdoors in Poland to strictly tropical trees grown in greenhouses or indoors. Each batch is tested for viability and germination ability, hand-packed, and accompanied by a paper sowing instruction. We ship throughout the European Union.
This category is aimed at collectors who consciously select species based on climate, purpose, and cultivation method. Here you will find both deciduous and coniferous trees from the temperate zone, as well as flowering specimens with high heat requirements. The full range of seed material is available in the seeds section.
How to choose tree seeds? Frost hardiness and climate
Start by determining the target location and frost hardiness zone, then decide whether the plant will be grown outdoors, in a pot, or under cover. Below, we divide the assortment into three climate groups.
Frost-hardy species, for outdoor planting in Poland — suitable for year-round outdoor cultivation. These include ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and empress tree (Paulownia tomentosa).
Trees for large pots and cool greenhouses — require protection from severe frost but tolerate low positive winter temperatures. Represented by eucalyptus (Eucalyptus gunnii), which can spend the growing season outdoors.
Tropical flowering species for indoors and greenhouses — grow only in warmth, without risk of temperatures dropping below their tolerance threshold. These include Delonix regia, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Ceiba speciosa, and Brachychiton.
Tip for beginners: start with frost-hardy and less demanding species before moving on to tropical specimens with more complex requirements.
Flowering and ornamental leafy trees — what you’ll find in this category
Among the flowering species, notable are Jacaranda mimosifolia with violet panicles, fiery red Delonix regia, long-blooming Lagerstroemia indica, and orchid-like flowered Bauhinia purpurea.
Collectors who appreciate foliage will be interested in eucalyptus with silvery, aromatic leaves and smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria) with intensely colored autumn foliage and distinctive fluffy fruit clusters.
Where do our tree seeds come from?
We source seed material from trusted producers, botanical gardens, and experienced collectors, ensuring correct species identification and batch origin. Seeds are tested for germination, hand-packed, and come with paper sowing instructions tailored to each species’ requirements.
Practical guides on establishing crops and growing seedlings are published on our gardening blog. The offered material complies with current legal and phytosanitary requirements applicable within the European Union.
How to sow tree seeds — basics
Scarification and soaking — species with hard, impermeable seed coats, such as acacias, Delonix, or Cassia, require breaking the seed coat or soaking in warm water to facilitate moisture absorption by the embryo.
Cold stratification — temperate zone species, including Ginkgo biloba, Cedrus libani, and Metasequoia glyptostroboides, undergo a cold phase mimicking natural winter conditions to break seed dormancy.
Substrate and warmth — use a well-draining, sterile substrate and maintain stable temperature and moderate humidity, avoiding both drying out and excessive moisture.
Patience — germination of many tree species can be slow and uneven, so do not abandon sowings prematurely. Supporting seedling growth with fertilizers suitable for young plants is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which trees are frost-hardy for outdoor planting in Poland?
For year-round outdoor cultivation, suitable species include Ginkgo biloba, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Cedrus libani, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Paulownia tomentosa.
Can tropical trees be grown in pots?
Yes. Species such as Delonix regia, Jacaranda mimosifolia, and Ceiba speciosa are grown in pots indoors or in greenhouses, being moved outdoors only during the warm part of the season.
Which species are easiest for beginners?
The least demanding are usually frost-hardy species like Paulownia tomentosa, Robinia pseudoacacia, and eucalyptus, which germinate relatively readily.
Do seeds require soaking or stratification?
It depends on the species. Seeds with hard coats benefit from soaking or scarification, while temperate zone species require cold stratification. Details are provided in the included instructions.
Do you ship throughout the EU?
Yes, we ship throughout the European Union in compliance with applicable phytosanitary regulations.
